Ironic Quotes "Imagine the disincentive to software development if after months of work another company could come along and copy your work and market it under its own name...without legal restraints to such copying, companies like Apple could not afford to advance the state of the art." - Bill Gates, 1983 (New York Times, 25 Sep 1983, p. F2) “I think there is a world market for maybe five computers.” — Thomas Watson, chairman of IBM, 1943. “But what ... is it good for?” — Engineer at the Advanced Computing Systems Division of IBM, 1968, commenting on the microchip. “There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home.” — Ken Olson, president, chairman and founder of Digital Equipment Corp., 1977. Interesting Quotes "To see tomorrow's PC, look at today's Macintosh." - Byte magazine October 1995 "I have to agree that with enough time and effort, you can get a windows computer to do almost anything that can be done on a Mac." - Steve Kayner "Who needs horror movies when we have Microsoft?" - Christine Comaford, PC Week "The Internet is a place you go when you want to turn your brain on, and a television is a place you go when you want to turn your brain of. I'm not at all convinced that the twain shall meet." - Steve Jobs, interviewed in Business Week "Sony's market share for color TVs in 1995 was 7 percent according to Appliance Manufacturer (April 1996, p. 32); and Honda's is about 7 percent in the car business." - Guy Kawasaki “Computers in the future may weigh no more than 1.5 tons.” — Popular Mechanics, forecasting the relentless march of science, in 1949. "It would be just like programmers to shorten 'the year 2000 problem' to 'Y2K'-- exactly the kind of thinking that created this situation in the first place." - Steven C. Meyer "Better to fail at doing the right thing than to succeed at doing the wrong thing" - Guy Kawasaki Quotes that makes you go "Oooooo" "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." - Ernst Jan Plugge "Saying Windows 95 is equal to Macintosh is like finding a potato that looks like Jesus and believing you've witnessed the second coming." - Guy Kawasaki "I don't do .INI, .BAT, or .SYS files. I don't assign apps to files. I don't configure peripherals or networks before using them. I have a computer to do all that. I have a Macintosh, not a hobby." - Fritz Anderson "Mac users swear by their computers. PC users swear at their computers." - Anonymous "Some people have a life, others have Windows to tell them where they want to go today" - Ronald C.F. Antony
